Hello ! I am really happy to find this list. I am not new to R but to Debian or Linux in general. Up to now I used R on MS Windows but now I want to use R on Debian lenny. I have absolutely no experience with Debian. I was able to install R 2.11 on my system using the instruction in the readme on CRAN. I can open R in the shell. On windows I used R with the R GUI or with Tinn-R. Is there the

Hello ALL! First, I apologize for sending question that spill-out from the scope of this list. However, you might be essentially the best informants. In brief, I am thinking to give second shot to the Debian. Currently I am using Ubuntu 9.04, but Debian still teases me, so to say. I used to use Debian testing (Lenny at that time), but when Lenny became stable, things became very shaky in

Hello ALL! I am running Fedora 16 x86_64. Due to some dubious problems, that i couldn't resolve, with the TeXLive (2007, which is a default), I removed it. That removed R as well, and some other dependent packages. Then, I installed TeXLive 2011 from CTAN. However, when I wanted to install R, from Fedora's repositories, it asks for some TeX dependencies (for example, tex-preview,

Hello ALL! Some times ago I started to learn and play with Bayesian stuffs. Many advice use of WinBUGS for Bayesian inference Using Gibbs Sampler. However, WinBUGS is discontinued, and now, development is under OpenBUGS. I wasn't lazy, so I installed both and tried out. In more than 90% of cases they give comparable outcome. But in few cases I got substantial differences. Recently, I read nice

Hello! I am trying with this question again: I would like to test few distributional assumptions for some behavioral response data. There are few theories about true distribution of those data, like: normal, lognormal, gamma, ex-Gaussian (exponential-Gaussian), Wald (inverse Gaussian) etc. The best way would be via qq-plot, to show to students differences. First two are trivial: qqnorm(dat$X)

Hello! I have posted this question at the R-HELP, general. I recently switched to Debian testing OS and explanation at the: http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/ is a little bit fuzzy. Can anyone give step-by-step how-to have updated R on Debian testing and/or unstable. First, what line should be in /etc/apt/source.list? Second, how to "approach" to unstable versions? Thanks

Hello! I saw this discussion regarding vim plugin for R and just wonder if there exists something similar for Gedit. I use Debian and I really like Gedit. I know a lot of plugins but not for R. Another thing is a bit stupid cause I know there has been discussion about repositories for R. I recently converted a friend from Windows to Debian and he is confused should he use: deb

Hello! Can anyone help me to build a graph with the alphanumeric values on x-axis, with two lines (preferably doted and solid, or similar) that present values on y-axes. In a toy example, data frame could be like this: x.orig x.num y1 y2 a 1 0.2 0.4 b 2 0.1 0.1 c 3 0.3 0.3 d 4 0.3 0.15 e 5 0.1 0.05 I can make graph only if I use values converted to numeric in "x.num", but not original

Hello! I am using R version 2.6.1, under Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake). Recently I have realized that I have, in some cases, two or even three instances of the same package; for example: cluster, foreign etc. Typically, two instances occur in one of the three location: "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library", "/usr/lib/R/site-library", or "/usr/lib/R/library", and the third

Hello! Can anyone explain me what solve() function does: Gaussian elimination or iterative, numeric solve? In addition, I would need both the Gaussian elimination and iterative solution for the course. Are the two built in R? Thanks! PM

Hello ALL! I am running Linux, Fedora 15 64-bits, and R on it. I need to use WinBUGS and R2WinBUGS, but as far as I read, WinBUGS is closed project, to be continued with/as OpenBUGS. Thus, I have found R2OpenBUGS on OpenBUGS Contributed Code (http://openbugs.info/w/UserContributedCode), not on CRAN. Author(s) states that it is equivalent for R2WinBUGS. I tried briefly, and realized few minor

Hello, Recently, I have asked for a help with building graphs, and I got few great advices. Now, my appetite is growing :) and I wander how to add legend for two (or more) lines in following example: matplot(DAT[, c(3,4)], type="b", ylim=c(0,8), xaxt="n", yaxt="n", + pch=c(21,22), col="black", lty=c("dashed","solid"), xlab="",

Hello, I ran two lme analyses and got expected results. However, I saw something suspicious regarding p-level for fixed effect. Models are the same, only experimental designs differ and, of course, subjects. I am aware that I could done nesting Subjects within Experiments, but it is expected to have much slower RT (reaction time) in the second experiment, since the task is more complex, so it

I have a two part question one about statistical theory and the other about implementations in R. Thank you for all help in advance. (1) Am I correct in understanding that Heteroscedasticity is a problem for Generalized Additive Models as it is for standard linear models? I am asking particularly about the GAMs as implemented in the mgcv package. Based upon my online search it seems that some

Hello! I am trying to install gtkDevice package, but without success. It is complaining about: * Installing *source* package 'gtkDevice' ... checking for gtk-config... no checking for gtk12-config... no ERROR: Cannot find gtk-config. I am using Ubuntu 6.06, and I cannot find that package in the repositories. Is there a remedy of any kind? What can I do? Best, Petar M.

Hello! Very often one can hear that MDS usually ends with two-dimensional solution. Of course, there are methods, like Scree-test (proposed by Kruskal and Wish, 1981), to determine optimal number of dimensions. However, I am trying to find references to this two-dimensional gold-standard. Can anyone point me to authors which explicitly states that two-dimensions are typical and easiest to

I am using R 2.1.1 on i486-pc-gnu-linux (Ubuntu Breezy). Recently, I bought new laptop HP nx8220 and installed Breezy with a few problems starting X-Windows. Nevertheless, I followed some instruction, managed to start X, and added R from the Ubuntu's repositories. When I try to produce any graph (like plot, bwplot etc.), I receive an error message: can't find X11 font Error in X11( ....
